Drill Bit Cases

[IPD_Mrs]

Does anyone know where I can pick up just the cases for drill bits? I need a new way to store my bits for pens away from my everyday bits. I need one for the four different types metric, fractional, letter and wire.

Or if anyone has any ideas for making one I would love to hear it.

At the office so no picture, but I use the woodcraft pen tubes. plenty of room to write the size, standardized so you can drill up a stand out of some scrap wood for them and most bits are short enough to cap them if you like. looks good beside the DP and real convenient.

If you want a stand, take a piece of wood drill a hole with each bit and stick it in.

That's what i do, and you have the hole to test fit the tubes[]

I guess the subject line gets lost. I want a case not an open stand. We do production mill work in our shop so you can only imagine the dust, even with all of the dust collection and venting equipment on. So a stand is actually out of the question.

Mike, if you like, I have a nice shopnotes plan for a wooden one I can share. It's in pdf format and I can send you a copy. Drop me an e-mail and let me know.

Thanks Lee this would be great. PM is on the way...

Now if we can just get that new employee of yours to work up a few of the those end sanders! [:0]

Mike, I sent you a copy, let me know if you get it. If you don't I can upload it to my server and you can just download it.

Hi,

If your wife let you take a peak at her topperware cabinet, take one of these or any plastic container high enough, reverse it, glue your wood stand on the cover and put the container on top of it. Instant drill bit case[]

P.S. I don't work for Tupperware, any plastic constainer will do (dollar store has some)

Thanks for the idea Alfred.

Lee, what shopnotes is that in? I have almost all of them around here somewhere, and wouldn't mind having a look at the plan.

Huot makes metal drill indexes for fractional, number, letter and metric size drills. Amazon has them, as should any industrial supply store.
